I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon. (/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.
In the midst of battle...
Logan - no, it should be Amaterasu now. He looked at Kyle, who was engulfed in Amaterasu's black flas, with a cold smile, confident of his victory. These flas weren't ordinary; they followed a certain "rule" - they were unquenchable, capable of turning everything to ash.
Raina, however, seed completely unfazed, showing no concern for Kyle's safety.
"Now it's your turn."
Amaterasu gave Raina an icy stare. As he prepared to turn the ancient bronze mirror in his hands - none other than the Yata no Kagami - a calm voice erged from the black flas.
"I am not dead yet."
"What?" Amaterasu's expression changed. He turned to see the supposedly infallible black flas slowly dying and receding. Finally, they shrank to a small cluster of flas that floated obediently in Kyle's left palm.
Not only was Kyle unhard, but there wasn't even a single sign that his clothes had been burned.
"This... this is impossible..." Amaterasu stood stunned. Those were his own flas, and even he would be burned by them if he touched them. But now, in Kyle's hand, the black flas were as docile as a kitten.
Kyle didn't even know how to react.
Using special flas to attack him? Of all people? He was the God of Fire. With his genes having evolved to godhood, fire literally ran through his veins. Not only could he control any fla at will, but no fire - except the Eternal Fla - posed a threat to him. These black flas, while bearing so resemblance to the Eternal Fla, were far inferior in nature.
"So Logan was controlled by you, an ancient superhuman who now claims to be a god," Kyle deduced, observing Logan and the divine items he was adorned with - both the Yata no Kagami and the Yasakani no Magatama. He put the situation together.
It seed the Imperial Japan governnt had never ceased their artificial lifeform experints since seventy years ago when Kyle had taken Raina away. Now, in the 21st century, they have discovered three ways to "create gods."
The first thod involved extracting DNA from ancient corpses to create beings who inherited similar powers. The current Princess Sakura was likely a product of this thod, made to be the second incarnation of the Goddess Sakura.
While it allowed for the transfer of abilities, the downside was that these new beings would lack the mories and experiences of the original, essentially becoming entirely new life forms.
Then there was the second thod.
This involved extracting both the DNA and brain cells from ancient remains, and reconstructing both body and mind. Compared to the first thod, this was superior because it allowed for the revival of the original individual.
Though their mory and strength might be incomplete, they could still be considered a perfect warrior. This was how Miyamoto Musashi had been brought back earlier.
Lastly, the third thod— now embodied by Amaterasu.
Amaterasu had likely been a powerful superhuman during his life, with an exceptional soul and spirit. After his death, his soul attached itself to a person and an object, allowing his essence to live on.
However, his soul was so powerful that no ordinary human could withstand it. That was until Logan, with his infinite healing factor and indestructible body, arrived in Japan. Amaterasu had finally found the perfect "vessel" for his mighty soul.
"This is impossible..." Amaterasu still couldn't accept that his black flas had been neutralized. In desperation, he raised the Yata no Kagami, reflecting a ray of sunlight toward Kyle. As the light intensified, it morphed into a powerful surge of black fire.
"You still don't get it?"
Kyle sighed, raising his hand. The tide of fire split in two, parting to flow harmlessly around him. The flas then gathered once more into a small cluster, hovering above his hand.
With a casual motion, Kyle opened his mouth and swallowed the flas, as if inhaling smoke. He then exhaled a few delicate white smoke rings.
Amaterasu, despite his long existence, trembled all over and began retreating. At that mont, he realized that Japan had provoked soone they never should have. This man before him was beyond anything this small nation could handle.
"Trying to run?"
In an instant, Kyle appeared before Amaterasu, grabbing the Magatama necklace from around his neck. He gazed down coldly at him and said, "Get out of Logan's body. Now. Imdiately!"
Amaterasu shuddered, but a sinister smile crept onto his face. "That's impossible."
He felt secure in the knowledge that as a re spirit, he had no physical form. In other words, there was no way for him to truly die again. Even if Kyle destroyed Logan's body, it wouldn't affect him.
"Raina," Kyle called.
Raina understood and extended her psychic powers, attempting to drive Amaterasu's soul out of Logan's body. However, she quickly raised her eyebrows.
"Boss, his soul has already been fused with Logan's body for so ti. I'm facing both physical and ntal rejection. His ntal energy is just a bit weaker than mine, so I can't directly affect him," Raina reported.
Kyle fell silent.
"You two are certainly strong, but there's nothing you can do to ," Amaterasu mocked, regaining his confidence.
"Oh, really? Then let's play a little longer."
Kyle shoved Amaterasu to the ground and reached into the air, retrieving sothing from his card space.
Amaterasu's eyes widened. It was a golden brazier, which Kyle held aloft, and in it burned an ordinary-looking fla.
"Are you sure you won't co out?" Kyle asked, holding the brazier.
Amaterasu wanted to laugh, feeling a bit disappointed. Was this all Kyle had to offer? He thought he'd have sothing more threatening. How could an ordinary fire pose any danger to him?
Raina, however, smiled knowingly— she was well aware of the fla in that brazier.
"Not shedding tears until you see the coffin, huh?" Kyle shook his head, turning the brazier over. The red flas poured out, swiftly engulfing Amaterasu's legs.
Amaterasu's smile froze. He hadn't expected Kyle to act so decisively— wasn't Logan a friend of his?
Moreover...
As the flas touched his host body's legs, Amaterasu felt as though his soul itself was being burned. The excruciating pain was unbearable.
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Amaterasu let out a blood-curdling scream, rolling frantically on the ground.
Kyle sighed softly. After all, the Eternal Fla— the first fla born of the universe's creation— was capable of burning even the soul.
